Di naman siguro macocompromise ung security natin sa paggamit ng mga correction tools. In fact, malaki nga natutulong nito sa atin kasi habang nag tatype tayo ng sentences, may mga correction and along the way natututo tayo kung paano ang tamang structure ng sentence natin. Walang dapat ikabahala sa security kapag gumagamit ng mga spell checker.

Apparently, this scheme is still on going pa rin despite SEC's warning. Ewan ko ba, pilit na pinu-push nung iba. Kesyo raw na nakapag-payout sila kaya 'di naman scam. Not sure, if they deliberately doin' it or talagang wala silang idea sa possible output in the long run, pero kung iisipin, hindi naman mahirap mag-search, almost everything na sa internet na e (then why?). Or baka naman sagad na sa buto 'yong pagiging greedy nila   Undecided.
Kaya nakakapag operate pa ang mga scam na to despite warnings ay dahil ang SEC ay hindi naman sila nanghuhuli, they are more on late game. Karamihan kasi ng scam ay legally registered as businesses so walang magawa ang SEC patungkol dito, ang magagawa lang nila is prevention ng scam pero hindi annihilation.
3723  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Mga galawan ng mga scammer sa social media on: October 12, 2020, 03:12:20 AM
Para sa aking opinyon, kaya napakraming pilipino ang naloloko ng mga ganyan ay dahil palagi nating tinitingnan kung magkano ang kikitain natin. Basta nagpost ng too good to be true na negosyo o investment at tulo laway agad tayo, ni hindi na natin maitanong sa sarili natin kung legit ba talaga sila o hindi.

Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang, pero kahit noong ako ay newbie pa, alam ko na agad na mga scams lang yang mga yan kasi mali mali yung grammar ng post, pangit yung website, at onti ang friends, at kung marami man, puro mga posers naman.
Tingin ko isa lang iyon sa mga factor kung bakit naloloko ung mga Pilipino, hindi naman natin kasalanan na nakatatak sa utak natin na kailangan natin ng maraming pera mula pagkabata. Oo, may mga nahuhulog sa bitag dahil sa sobrang kinang ng pangakong pera pero sa tingin isa sa bumubuo ay ang mga taong may abilidad para gawing mukhang kapani paniwala ang isang scam. Kung walang taong mag sesales talk sayo, mababa ang chance na mahulog ka sa scam na iyon.
3724  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody here trying to live bankless (using Bitcoin / cryptocurrencies)? on: October 11, 2020, 12:40:24 PM
In my country, crypto finance is a small speck in the financial institution. Banks right now is the most lucrative choice in my country and I hope that someday that will change. I really hate the hassle that is incorporated in the banking process, it is a good effort but the time wasted could have been spent into something that is productive.
3725  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Blockchain Gaming Drive Cryptocurrency Adoption? on: October 11, 2020, 11:04:39 AM
I do not think we should put blockchain coding into games, it will not drive crypto adoption because most gamers at the very least have a knowledge about cryptocurrency. Gambling works perfectly fine, it will be of great benefit if we use it to create esports betting sites that supports cryptocurrency. Most tournament esports only have cosmetics as a way to bet in the game.
3726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Curacao licensed casinos banning Curacao residents? on: October 11, 2020, 08:38:37 AM
Finally! Thank you Hhampuz.

This leads me to another issue now since it appears that other online casinos aren't implementing the policy set by the Curacao Government. This also  supports why there are people who doesn't think highly of gambling license obtained there. They don't check if the rules are strictly followed.
I think the focus of their casinos is international like Monaco or Macau. And with a small population, I do think that they like their people focusing on other aspects of society instead of gambling.
3727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites accepting bets from countries where gambling is illegal. on: October 11, 2020, 07:12:36 AM
Gambling is banned in some mentioned countries for avoiding legal charges. The big governments can shut down websites whenever they want to do so. Anyone here if uses for the Puffin browser can confirm that many promoted gambling platforms on the forum don't load on this browser because the Puffin browser is based on US servers. The Stake, Roobet,Betcoin, and other websites don't load and the error happens after clicking on the registration button.  
If at registration the user is already blocked then I think the problem is solved in regards to gambling in countries where gambling is illegal. In my opinion, the best course of action for this account freeze because the player is on a country that prohibit gambling is to send the prize anyway then ban their IP. The problem is the gambling sites make the problem seem complicated when the solution is obvious. I do not know if it my proposed solution is viable but I think that it is simple and it could work.

The only solution that I can think of is that more quality post are posted by members that deserves to rank up. We also should make thread where everyone can apply for merit by posting their chosen post/topic that they think deserves merit, I saw one topic that did this and I think it is a good solution for a one stop shop merit rewarding for forum members.
3729  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Treasuries on: October 11, 2020, 03:44:37 AM

there is no wallet address to check whether their holding is true?

i don't doubt if they have indeed invest to btc. while they announced how much they bought on otc, its going to be exciting to check in the website where their trails go.
or even which altcoins they have also invested. i'm sure its not just BTC that they are up to.

I checked OP's link and there is no address, I can second this problem because people will be suspicious if there was no funds. It is easier to announce that their staking in cryptocurrency. On the other hand, I can understand the companies need to make their addresses private, I mean that is a lot of money and we all know that there have been attacks.

I have a better solution. If you have the time to waste, you can bait them into thinking that you are obliging their every requests. If this was in email format, you can use an AI called RE:Scam that replies to this emails, essentially wasting their time. This is the rule of thumb on the Internet, never talk to strangers until you see their and confirm their faces because you will have no chances when you want to appeal about scam.
3731  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does having a lot of investing money make trading for a living much easier? on: October 10, 2020, 08:04:15 AM
1. No you don't need to use large capital just to earn large amount of money . Its actually wise decision if you will only start with small capital mostly if you know you don't have enough experience in trading .
Isn't large amount of money makes sure that you will profit even bigger? I agree that small amounts will be a good start but there are times when you need to just trust the investment and let it go up. Nobody gets rich by playing it safe.
3732  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: US government imposing fines for those companies paying ransomware on: October 10, 2020, 07:01:19 AM
It's because US government wants to get more insughts about such attacks which many companies are not reporting. There is a fair reason for the companies not to report such attacks to the government and related cybersecurity departments because it involves the reputation of the company. From a customer point of view it's less secure to continue with the business with such victim companies.

But unless and until such incidents are reported, there will be no way the cybercrime department will be able to get to the root of such things. Probably that's the reason such notification is issued!
The imposed fine is pretty reasonable in my opinion because if there were no consequences for the people who pays the ransomware attackers, then the companies mentioned by quote above will do what any company will do to protect their reputation. The fine serves as a sign for these companies to not slack off in regards to their security and backups.
3733  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: India plans to introduce law to ban cryptocurrency trading on: October 10, 2020, 05:59:41 AM
I have seen this thing a lot of times now. India will enforce but given the size of their country and their steady population growth, I do not think that this will be taken seriously, it might be enforced for a week or two but I do not think that anything will come out after that. In my opinion, the government is fighting a losing battle against their people. Best course of action is to accept the adoption of cryptocurrency that makes a compromise between the government and the masses, hopefully they will do this. But with their current tug of war between banning and regulation, the current conundrum will be far from over.
3734  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sixty Coinbase employees take buyout offer after no politics at work rule on: October 10, 2020, 05:08:32 AM
I do not think that Fanbase vs. Fanbase is not the same as politics. In my opinion, it is not a slippery slope because banning political discussion will not result to other bans. OP said it best, Politics is for the bar and I do believe because slapping someone in the face with your political beliefs when sober is not the best course of action.
3735  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 12 years and no country has approved Bitcoin ?? on: October 10, 2020, 04:09:25 AM
Some countries have already permitted bitcoin and many countries are thinking to permit it. The most successful matter of Bitcoin is that it has become a matter of thinking for all over the world; some are thinking positively and some, thinking negatively and some are neutral. You see that what was the position of bitcoin at the time of starting, five years ago and now. Surely it has tremendously progressed. Its users, traders and  investors have greatly increased. So, I think, there has less possibility of ending Bitcoin.
They did accepted it but I think a stink eye is still lingering in regards to bitcoin permission to be used in their country. If my financial institution is threatened by something that liberates the masses from crippling debt and I know for a fact that they are still not planting deep roots in the nation's financial institution. The most rational thing that I will do is try to influence people in power to make strangling regulations that could make the competition disappear behind the curtain or worse make the people that they are helping turn their back against them.
3736  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Start your own Bitcoin ATM business on: October 10, 2020, 03:34:00 AM
Bitcoin ATM usage around the globe isn't high to start a business. Majority of the ATMs were within a specific country, which means the usage and acceptance is quite high. I haven't seen any of the ATMs installed on third world countries. In an article saw about bitcoin ATM installed on India and the same being taken on government pressure. Bitcoin ATM Seized
That is what I have thought too. Mainstream adoption is still a far away dream for many countries, either because of bureacratic red tape along the way or the government does not care. In my country's case, they do not have a clear stand on what to do with cryptocurrency, there are some regulations but will be heavily enforced for a day then everything goes back to normal.
3737  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Expose] Hourminer.com Money Doubler on: October 09, 2020, 12:02:30 PM
This is the first time that I am seeing scam sites getting their web design game upped. If I were someone does not know about ponzi schemes, I would fall for this because aesthetic wise, it looks trustworthy. The good thing is that they do not operate anymore. I wonder whether the scammers are getting profit from creating a clone of their previous project and doing it all over again.
3738  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam]: Fake Yearn.Finance on: October 09, 2020, 10:55:32 AM
Nice catch, I would have fallen for this because Yearn is a rare name that is associated with finances. Most scam sites do not put effort in their website design, pretty much a big red flag in my opinion because if your business is a real thing then you should put an effort or worse at least put an effort for their website. They are growing each day and I hope more people are getting aware about this scams and passing on the knowledge on how to identify scams.
3739  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 2FA app on desktop on: October 09, 2020, 08:37:02 AM
Google Chrome has a 2fa plugin of them officially. But I never used it. I think 2fa should be in separate device always. It gives you more security.

Otherwise if a hacker hacks your pc or browser he can easily access your 2FA and you don't have any use of that 2FA security on that moment. So, I won't suggest you to use any 2FA app on your pc.
It does not matter where you use your 2FA, they are relatively the same. Yes it looks secure in your phone but I think they have the same function. What we need is not a stronger authentication but a stronger security for the website we use. For which we do not have the control as it is up to the business to upgrade their security.
3740  Economy / Economics / Re: People lose Faith and Hope for banking and tradional markets on: October 09, 2020, 07:20:55 AM
I'm just assuming you're speculating and if it happens when the banking system collapses on a large scale. I believe the banks now have more money to handle their funds.
In our country, banks encourage people to borrow capital for economic development.
Bitcoin can go up fast, but in a week or a month that looks ridiculous, they may take longer to reach the $ 100k mark.
Banks are deeply rooted in a country, I do not think that a financial institution collapse will happen anytime soon. Even if bitcoin is revolutionary, the users are still small compared to people who still uses banks. In my country, online banking is the one that is getting more traction rather than cryptocurrency, someday it might happen here and the fate of whether the government is in favor or not wil come.
